Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A refreshing Columbard Sauvignon from Côtes De Gascogne, Midi I.G.P., France. Shows bright tree fruit and lots of lemon, grapefruit and lime aromas and flavours. A great match with a lobster sandwich .
Tasted March 2017
Light and fruity with a bit of spritz. On the nose and palate, lemon, citrus, pear and peach. Fresh, balanced with good acidity. Great value and perfect for seafood dishes. - Community Wine Reviews
